My RPM versions (if it helps.)
[gilboa@gilboa-home-dev build]$ rpm -qa | egrep 'pilot|evo' | sort
evolution-2.2.3-2.fc4
evolution-data-server-1.2.3-3.fc4
gnome-pilot-2.0.13-4
gnome-pilot-conduits-2.0.13-2
jpilot-0.99.8-0.pre10.fc4.1
pilot-link-0.12.0-0.pre4.0.fc4.2
pilot-link-devel-0.12.0-0.pre4.0.fc4.2
Gilboa
I have all of the same ones... additionally, I have:
evolution-connector-2.2.2-5
evolution-data-server-devel-1.2.3-3.fc4
evolution-devel-2.2.3-2.fc4
evolution-webcal-2.2.0-1
gnome-pilot-conduits-debuginfo-2.0.13-2
gnome-pilot-debuginfo-2.0.13-4
gnome-pilot-devel-2.0.13-4
I've managed to sync one calendar event to my local calendar... before I was
trying to sync to my exchange calendar. I don't know if the problem was due
to an interaction between sync and the evolution-connector or a much larger
number of events, but it seems happier with a few local events.
Thanks again...
David
